About Stephan Neff:

Dr Stephan Neff is passionate about demystifying mental health problems and helping the people around him live a life so full of joy that yesterday is jealous of today.

Nowadays he has settled down as an anaesthetist in beautiful New Zealand and has become a bestselling author and advocate for mental health and addiction.

He is uniquely qualified in this role. After all, a lifetime of trauma led Stephan to drown his sorrows, only to find that the critters can swim. As an alcoholic in recovery, he has experienced addiction and mental health problems first-hand. After successful rehabilitation, Stephan is now an expert in living a life so fantastic that alcohol has simply no role to play. He shares this passion through his podcast, YouTube channel, and other social media (all titled “My Steps to Sobriety”). Stephan brings on guests who have gone through hell and back, and are now sharing their insights and allow us to listen to the lessons they had to learn the hard way.
